Green Lantern Corps - Roll Out!

08 September 2007 | Hisham | | Artwork, Comics, Transformers
 

Corpsman of the Cybertron SectorYou know that one of the lifeforms in the universe that most deserve the Green Lantern Corps power ring is the guy depicted on the left. He has no self-doubt. He has no quantifiable fear. The only thing he'll pause to is to see if an upcoming battle will have unacceptable collateral damage. But if the collateral damage is acceptable, any enemies (Sinestro Corps, I'm looking at you) will have a Lantern-powered energon sword stabbed at their faces.

Illustration Friday: Missing

06 August 2007 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

He went to DragonCon Few and far in betweem, yet another Illustration Friday piece makes its way into the weblog.

The title of this Illustration Friday is "Missing", which means that this guy in the picture is in deep trouble. Really deep trouble.

Irfan and a Friend

And then they roll outI thought I'd paint a picture of Irfan and his friend, and then post it here.

Check it out by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

A Great Old One Rises

16 June 2007 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

Cthulhu AscendantUp from cold dark R'lyeh, the Great Old One ascends to the surface to greet the weak-willed ones with despair, madness and obedience, and the rebellious stronger-willed ones with slow, painful death.

Nothing will stand in Cthulhu's way in turning the world into his own hellish playground where the seas and rivers will run red with blood. And the screams of tortured beings will never cease til the stars run cold.

Yeah, baby.

 

Tacking Into The Wind

03 June 2007 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

Been a while since I fiddled around with Painter Classic, or have an entry in the Artwork category. So off the top of my head I decided to hammer out a galleon. I wonder why a galleon? Did I read or watch something about pirates somewhere?

Illustration Friday: Super Hero

20 January 2007 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

It's been several ice ages since I participated in an Illustration Friday. So, here's one for this week. Created wholly with the Gimp 2.2 using the handy-dandy Wacom - after I finally figured out how to activate pressure sensitivity of the stylus. Which took me an hour or so.

The subject is "Super Hero", something almost ever child dreamed of being at least once in his or her life. So here is a kid acting out his fantasy to be a costumed crimefighter, hopefully without breaking a limb falling off the roof.

 

Stuck in the Jam: A Matter of Taste

04 December 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Humour
 

Whee! A webcomic!

Based on a true story, even.

Which happened earlier today.

 

From Thirteen Years Ago

29 October 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

Sometimes rummaging through your old stuff that you haven't touched for years can surprise you in a good way. Yesterday, upon cleaning house I stumbled across three artwork of mine which I made back in 1993, several thousand years before my first foray into the digital medium.

Click on the titles to view them in their entirety on deviantArt.

An Armoured Sith Lord

Some guy wearing a Vader costume

Starfleet Officers

Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner perhaps

Dr. Jones

Witness the chin scar
 

Blue Harvest

08 October 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Star Wars
 

I'm a bit late for last month's SWAG Theme Art Contest, entitled "Blue Harvest".

The subject matter alludes to the working title for the movie Return of the Jedi during its filming, to throw rabid Star Wars fans off its trail. It's also the name of a fanzine in the early 90s, which I contributed some art and writing to.

So what's blue and likely to be harvested in the Star Wars universe?

The Vacation Is Over - For These Younglings

31 August 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Star Wars
 

Round Five of the Star Wars Artists' Guild Member Theme Art Contest is almost over, what with September starting tomorrow and all. So here I am after some hours of pencilling on paper, scanning and finally digitally inking and colouring the illustration for contest participation.

The theme is The Vacation Is Over. I can't think of a more brutal wake up call than when the newly-named Lord Darth Vader marching into the Jedi Temple on Coruscant with the 501st "Vader's Fist" Legion and slaughtering everyone, including the younglings during Revenge of the Sith.

 

Illustration Friday: Play

13 August 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

For the topic of "play" for Illustration Friday, we have a digital painting of two baby dragons at play, like kittens trying to wrestle and bite each other attempting to gain upper hand over the other.

Illustration Friday: Clean

29 July 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

A visual study of the juxtaposition of a gigantic, filthy garbage monster with a sparkling clean jeweled goblet upon its hand, its most prized possession. For some reason, it is the one thing in its collection which it keeps spotlessly clean.

Woohoo! I get to use the word "juxtaposition" once again! Still no opportunity for the word "curbstomp", "mandelbrot" nor "ragamuffin".

 

Summer Vacation On Zeltros

16 July 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Star Wars
 

SWAG's Theme Art Contest for this month is in the bag, with two points in mind:

1. Terras' title suggestion, which is My First Summer Vacation on the Planet Zeltros.

2. Darren's suggestion of using Team: Sabredart imagery once again.

 

Illustration Friday: Sticky

04 July 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

One more Illustration Friday piece... and it's really supposed to be a reminder of what I'm supposed to be doing this week.

A virtual Post-it note. Hee.

Star Wars: Kramer vs Kramer

30 June 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Star Wars
 

For Round Three of the SWAG Member Theme Art Contest, everyone was given the theme of It's A Trap!... except me who has the task of coming up with Star Wars: Kramer vs Kramer, no thanks to my big mouth the previous month.

So, here it is without further adieu, Star Wars: Kramer vs Kramer - The Battle for Cosmo.

 

Peter, Again

29 May 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Comics
 

Some time last August, I drew Peter with Panter Classic.

Here he is once again, this time with the new armored costume Tony came up with for him while MJ and he works as a New Avenger. It has bulletproof armour, enhanced computer-display visors and those extra pincer limbs not shown in the illustration below.

I like the design, though because Tony came up with colour scheme, the outfit is red and yellow.

Kinda looks a bit like Shiro's costume.

 

Time To Abandon Ship!

28 May 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork, Star Wars
 

Time To Abandon ShipIt's time for another round of SWAG's Member Theme Art Contest!!!!! Well, actually it's my first submission, and it's only the second topic ever. The topic is Time To Abandon Ship! and I wanted to do a free-for-all (during the pencilling I decided to pit Wookiees against Imperial stormtroopers). The guy abandoning ship is the one in the back, not involved in the brawl.

It took me the entire length of the movie Regarding Henry on TV for me to digitally pencil, ink and colour this piece. Apologies for the shoddy colouring, by the way.

Illustration Friday: Sorry

22 May 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 

A late entry to this week's Illustration Friday is my version of the current topic: Sorry. Once I read the topic, this image popped in my mind and it'll bug me to death if I didn't realize it. Well, enough gabbing; let the illustration tell its story.

 

Illustration Friday: Angels and Devils

14 May 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 
The topic of this week's Illustration Friday is represented by two individuals, a father and a daughter, who each has the gift to see either of the topic subjects: angels and devils.

Anyone care to guess who they are?

 

Illustration Friday: Under The Sea

29 April 2006 | Hisham | | Artwork
 
Here's another Illustration Friday artwork for the weekend, entitled Under The Sea. It's fully made in Photoshop within 40 minutes and with me about 45% conscious. So what's under the sea? It could well be what's in this picture.
